SOLDIER RP - [Fantasy] Discussion

[imported_Hex]

Discussion goes here. =)

[Nirv]

Are two swords allowed beginning?

[Kuroshi_Ryu_Ver.1.1]

Hex, could you post a filled out sample bio? I'm a little confused about the stats....

[Zella]

Is it cool if you use a gunblade? Like Squalls from FF8 but the gun part is actually useful.

[Shark a' Pult]

I didn't understand any of that, so I'm not sure I should join.

[Nirv]

I didn't understand any of that, so I'm not sure I should join.


Just use wiki the concepts are basic enough once you know them

[Shark a' Pult]

I don't have that kind of time on my hands though.

[Zella]

Then read it later and join later

[RenviLLe]

I don't understand even the title. -_-"

[Nirv]

I don't have that kind of time on my hands though.


20 mins?

[RenviLLe]

Oh, sorry, my bad. It's in the signups.

[Shark a' Pult]

20 mins?


Yes. 20 mins.

[imported_Hex]

Are two swords allowed beginning?


No.


Hex, could you post a filled out sample bio? I'm a little confused about the stats....


Sure, I'll do that when I finish the Materia list.


Is it cool if you use a gunblade? Like Squalls from FF8 but the gun part is actually useful.


No, you can't use a gunblade. But you can have something like it. No copies is all I'm saying.


I didn't understand any of that, so I'm not sure I should join.


What part was the most confusing?

[Zella]

Ok, I meant in concept not design. Also do we have to have a mentor if we are part of SOLDIER?

[imported_Hex]

Ok, I meant in concept not design. Also do we have to have a mentor if we are part of SOLDIER?


Good question. The answer is no, you do not have to have a mentor. However at least 2 people have to make a mentor character so that it makes more sense when we go on missions to have a First Class with us.

Also, yes, the concept of a gunblade is acceptable.

[tickyhead]

I may be interested in this, but my involvement with RPs lately has been shoddy at best. Time management is not my forte, apparently. :\

...Actually, it would be really funny in that sense to make a character with the time materia.

Also I'd be all for making a mentor character with someone, if they're willing to chat with me on IM sometime.

[imported_Hex]

lol, that'd be pretty good, actually.  Well, whenever you have time is fine.  I know I won't be able to post frequently either, so it's all good.

Also, I posted a sample template using Zack.

If you still have questions, ask away.

EDIT: Also, I added the Outpost list in the FAQ.

[Kortaga (The Old Atrus)]

Will join. Final Fantasy Nerd to the max is so happy this is here.

Ends fan girl moment. I love FF7 so yea This is cool. I will make a character in the next day or two.

[Shark a' Pult]

What part was the most confusing?


I wouldn't know how yo go about doing things.

I could probably make a character, but postings would be going on and I don't think I'd know what was going on.

[Zella]

I'm making a character right now and I don't quite understand the Statistics section. Do we start out with 100 points and distrubute as we see fit?

[imported_Hex]

You'd be fine. The only thing you really need to know is how materia works. Everything else we can introduce step by step since it's an original story anyhow. We'll help you out with anything you don't get, so don't hesitate to ask.

[imported_Hex]

I'm making a character right now and I don't quite understand the Statistics section. Do we start out with 100 points and distrubute as we see fit?


Yes, but you have 100 points throughout the entire RP. It's more of a comparison between your stats.

[Shark a' Pult]

Ok, I'll try and have a character up...

[Newb23]

I may want to join but i have no idea how anything works. Including materia.

[imported_Hex]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_(Final_Fantasy_VII)#Materia

That's the basics, anyway.

[Newb23]

I have a question. Will limit breaks be featured or not?

[imported_Hex]

Yeah, but they exist as regular special attacks that you can use whenever.

[Newb23]

Ah i see

[Miselius]

Gimme E. Skill and I join. I would build charachter around it only using few materias beside that (right now I'm thinking of only Maniplate and Morph).

EDIT: I just read that we can have only one yellow materia. Then just E. Skillz.

[Newb23]

Whats E. Skill?

[Miselius]

Enemy Skill. A materia, which allows the user to copy magic from monsters. Apparently it's banned, but I want to use it.

If not it then I'll make charahcter around Mime.

[Newb23]

I have to ask whats mime?

[Shark a' Pult]

Yeah, I don't know any of this...

I think I'll stick with a simple gun.

[Miselius]

I have to ask whats mime?

Exactly what you would think it is. Miming. Copying moves.

[Newb23]

Oh for some reason I thought it would be like creating invisible weapons.

[Kuroshi_Ryu_Ver.1.1]

Okay, the bio confuses me. Am I allowed to make a merc or not? If so, I'll need to edit the bio a little....

[Miselius]

Mime isn't allowed either. =(

Also why is this as "original" RP, as it definetly isn't one.

[imported_Hex]

lulz I was tired as hell yesterday. I have a couple things to fix, so hold on a bit.

First things, I forgot to add the Limit category in the bio. Whoops.

I'll add Enemy Skill to the materia list as well.

And Kuroshi, yes, you can make a merc character. I have added description based on if someone makes a SOLDIER character and they aren't really sure what SOLDIER is. Mercs are allowed any weapon, btw.

[Shark a' Pult]

Then why would anyone be a soldier, instead of a merc?

[imported_Hex]

Because the story is based off of SOLDIER, and if you are a merc, then you won't get plot advantages.

[Shark a' Pult]

Is this everyone moving around as a group, or everyone separate?

If everyone's as a group, then I don't understand how the events only happen to some people.

I'll go with a gun, as I don't understand the whole magic thing, just what gun do I get?

[imported_Hex]

Is this everyone moving around as a group, or everyone separate?

If everyone's as a group, then I don't understand how the events only happen to some people.


At some points, every RP'er will be together. However, obviously not everyone is always sent on the same mission so there will be times when there will be at least two groups. If you are concerned about the merc thing working out, tell it to Kuroshi, because I'm fine with it. I see where you stand though, so don't take this as me pretending your opinion never existed.

I'll go with a gun, as I don't understand the whole magic thing, just what gun do I get?


If you are in SOLDIER, you get an M4 Carbine assault rifle. However, I'm not too familiar with guns in general, so if you have a better suggestion, I'll gladly take it.

If you aren't in SOLDIER, you get any basic gun you want. In both cases, your gun shouldn't be too advanced. Your final weapon can range from anything between a pistol and a rocket launcher, since I'm pretty lenient with final weapons.

Hope the helps a bit.

[Shark a' Pult]

Ok, so smaller groups, but we're never by our own unless we want, right?

So what are these benefits of being a soldier? You said plot based, but I'm not sure what that means.

---

An M4? Oh puke!

I thought we were doing like non-real weapons, but if it's somewhat realistic, then I'll go with a different gun.

[imported_Hex]

Ok, so smaller groups, but we're never by our own unless we want, right?

So what are these benefits of being a soldier? You said plot based, but I'm not sure what that means.

Well you've said that you've never played the game, so I guess I'll explain some stuffz.

First off, since SOLDIER is funded, supported, and created by ShinRa Company (which is pretty much the sole influential governmental entity in Gaia), the individuals themselves are better off. For example, new equipment, state-of-the-art medical facilities, I think you get the point. To understand how crucial that actually is, you also have to understand that although Midgar is one of the most industrialized cities on the planet, it is still purely hierarchical in terms of social standings. Midgar is split off into districts, obviously having a "rich" district and the slums. As the center of all this, the ShinRa Company (and effectively everyone in SOLDIER), can take advantage of everything that ShinRa produces without fear of cost.

Secondly, plot advantages can be as simple as being allowed to go on more missions. Now, obviously that doesn't provide as much advantage for you because you aren't using materia, but say you were; then you would have more chances to improve your materia level and so on and so forth. Also, plot advantages also include knowing facts that normal civilians or anyone else not in SOLDIER would know, including confidential information and things like that. Technology plays a big part in this, as information can be directly linked between all SOLDIER devices.

There should be more, but it's late and I have finals.

[imported_Hex]

An M4? Oh puke!

I thought we were doing like non-real weapons, but if it's somewhat realistic, then I'll go with a different gun.


Again, I wasn't too sure about gun choice. Anyhow, every SOLDIER who uses a gun will start with the same one, so if you could post your choice and I'll edit the template, that'd be great. Thanks.

[Shark a' Pult]

If ShinRa is a somewhat realistic company/governing body, wouldn't contractors get a discount, or similar treatment?
Just that question and I think I'm set.

---

For company-standard guns, why not go with either SCARs or P90s.

The former is set to be the standard for American forces, and the latter fits with the high-tech, efficient style you describe.

[imported_Hex]

ShinRa, although it acts as a governmental body, is more tyrannical than it is diplomatic. Whatever it owns a piece of is completely under its control. Contractors apparently didn't exist when this game was made because I find that that is a flaw. Almost every notable town or city is under the influence of ShinRa's electronics at the very least. However, there are some cities that are under the direct control of ShinRa, the most notable being Junon. Places like these do get similar treatment, which is specifically why I tried to make those places have a ShinRa sponsored SOLDIER training facility, simply because no matter which station you start at, you receive the same benefits as every SOLDIER at Midgar.

For company-standard guns, why not go with either SCARs or P90s.

The former is set to be the standard for American forces, and the latter fits with the high-tech, efficient style you describe.


Let's go with P90s then. Thanks.

[imported_Hex]

Oh and before I forget, if anyone makes a mentor character, make sure you have a character to mentor, if that made any sense.

And on that topic, TLC, if you want a mentor for your character, I have an idea for a gun-wielding female mentor.

[Shark a' Pult]

I don't know what a mentor is, but I can make assumptions.

Do I need a mentor?

[Miselius]

Thanks Hex. I'll post my charachter bio within next few days. Most likely tomorrow.

Also I don't really see a point of joining, non-original RP, without knowing the original material, in this case the game.

[Zella]

So when are we going to start? Once a certain amount of character's are approved?

[imported_Hex]

I don't know what a mentor is, but I can make assumptions.

Do I need a mentor?


No, you don't. I was just saying.


Also I don't really see a point of joining, non-original RP, without knowing the original material, in this case the game.


Eh, it's really not that hard to understand all the basics. Stuff like materia and the complex social structures are where it gets confusing imo. Honestly, a lot of the information you can find is all on wikipedia.

[imported_Hex]

So when are we going to start? Once a certain amount of character's are approved?


Yes, I'm waiting for a few people who have said that they will join.  So far, I'm waiting for Mise and TLC, and possibly tickyhead and newb.  Then we'll start.

EDIT: and Kuroshi and Kortaga. lol sorry

[Sprite_Knight]

I WILL JOIN.

[chibi luffy]

Can i join up too?

[imported_Hex]

Make a character and we'll see. I can't guarantee anything though.

[Miselius]

Oh yes. I got one question. E. Skill will be my guys only materia so how many spells I can start with?

[Zella]

Since you start with 5 slots I'm guessing 3 normal ones and 1 really strong one to replace the summon. But it's up to Hex.

[imported_Hex]

Oh yes. I got one question. E. Skill will be my guys only materia so how many spells I can start with?


I'll let you have 5 in place of the 4 missing materia. Make sure they are the weaker ones though.

[Nirv]

If I'm not allowed 2 swords to begin with what if a comrade died on a mission could I take his sword and stuff.

[imported_Hex]

You could take it for the time being, but the sword would be put to much better use as a gravestone than a permanent memento-turned-weapon.

[Nirv]

I'm not Cloud :cmonster

[chibi luffy]

Okay, i just finished my character. So let me know if i can join

[imported_Hex]

I'm not Cloud :cmonster


lol


Okay, i just finished my character. So let me know if i can join


I thought I messaged you already.

EDIT:

@ Sprite - I dunno if I sent you the acceptance message already, or if I just sent two to Nirv O.o

In any case, you are accepted.

[chibi luffy]

ehehhe. sorry, my bad. i didnt see it. ill fine tune my persona .

[Sprite_Knight]

I got no message but yay. Btw Ticky is gonna be my partner.

[Shark a' Pult]

lol I'm kind of lonely.

Ah well, no biggie, right?

[imported_Hex]

lol I'm kind of lonely.

Ah well, no biggie, right?


If you want a partner, you can ask Kuroshi since his character is probably a merc of some sort as well.


I got no message but yay. Btw Ticky is gonna be my partner.


K.

If this partner thing keeps going on, me =/= =D

[Shark a' Pult]

If this partner thing keeps going on, me =/= =D


Eh? Why?

[tickyhead]

Toasted.

I'm tired, so it's probably really bad.

That's all.

Also, why the hate on the partners? I'm here to keep sprite in check.

[Shark a' Pult]

And lord knows that would do us all a favor.

[Miselius]

That's not what I mean. You just don't get the feeling of playing RP like that unless you have played and enjoyed the game and thus I don't really see the point of it.

Also I'll post my bio when it's ready. I'm already half way through.

[Kuroshi_Ryu_Ver.1.1]

Almost finished the bio, just a few details left, but I won't get the chance to finish it til tomorrow....

[Miselius]

My bio is about 95% complete now. I still need to think about a few little things over, before finishing so expect it tomorrow.

[Kortaga (The Old Atrus)]

Me and Cj's should be up realaivly soon. lol so excited.

[Sprite_Knight]

And lord knows that would do us all a favor.


*looks at Super RP*

[imported_Hex]

LULZ

Oh, I was just shunning the partner concept because there will be none left for me D=

EDIT:

And we will start as soon as everyone who has posted on this page has posted their character profile.

[Shark a' Pult]

*looks at Super RP*


That was a joke!

Although technically, we're waiting for the supers to finish things up.

[Miselius]

Posted my bio. I got kinda lazy with it towards the end, but I guess it will do.

[Kortaga (The Old Atrus)]

me and cj's up today, so very soons

Edit: Fear me and Cj's epicness, fear it for we have posted characters!

[Nirv]

Added limits to my bio

[Shark a' Pult]

Are we supposed to have more than one?

[imported_Hex]

Everything looks good to go.

However, we won't start until sometime near the end of next week because I have finals this week. Hope you can all wait.

[imported_Hex]

Are we supposed to have more than one?


Sorry, didn't see this.

If you mean limits, then no, you don't have to have more than one. You can have any number ranging from 0 to 7.

[Zella]

Crap that's the worst time for me cause I have to start studying for mid-terms next week but whatever, i'll try and post.

[imported_Hex]

I should think mid-terms are more important than an online text-based RP. Take your time; study instead of feeling like you have to post. You'll only be missing some introductory things anyhow.

Good luck with mid-terms =)

[Zella]

Thanks, they aren't that important this year so I am only studying cause I gotta raise my mark cause I "forgot" to hand in a couple assignments. As long as we don't start late in the week I'll be fine.

[imported_Hex]

Actually, if you guys would like to start sometime tomorrow, I'd be up for it. I just wouldn't post for a week LULZ

So yeah, just give a quick yes/no if you want to start tomorrow.

[Zella]

I'm gonna say yes to starting it tomorrow.

[Old Skewl CJ]

Do it for the lulz.

No, just do it when you're ready. XD

[Miselius]

Because it includes lulz then yes.

[Nirv]

yes

[Kortaga (The Old Atrus)]

Im torn but i think having the moderator for plot is better so no.

[chibi luffy]

id say no. We need you for the plot.

[Miselius]

All the communists vote for yes. :cmonster

[Kuroshi_Ryu_Ver.1.1]

I say no as well, having the mod around for the first few posts is always better, in case one of us screws up somehow...

[Nirv]

I still say no as nothing plot wise will be happening much at the start, once Hexers makes the first post we could handle the intros and such for the week or so he wont be on much

[imported_Hex]

I still say no as nothing plot wise will be happening much at the start, once Hexers makes the first post we could handle the intros and such for the week or so he wont be on much


Don't you mean yes?

And if my not being here is what's worrying you plot-wise, then you don't have to worry, as Nirv knows just about as much as I do.

So re-vote.

[Nirv]

Don't you mean yes?

And if my not being here is what's worrying you plot-wise, then you don't have to worry, as Nirv knows just about as much as I do.

So re-vote.


Correct I mean yes, and I should gave mentioned I helped Hex plot wise

btw, I changed my casual clothes totally and added one or two new piercings

[Kortaga (The Old Atrus)]

Well if Nirv as apart of this like you did in making it, I guess i could switch it to a yes...though still like 50-50 on the issue.

[imported_Hex]

I'll start it Wednesday. I have no finals that day. Sound good?

[Zella]

Yeah, wednesday's cool for me.

[Nirv]

So is this kicking off tomorrow

[imported_Hex]

Later today maybeh.

[Nirv]

Killer

[imported_Hex]

Imma do it now, for teh lulz.

[Old Skewl CJ]

WHAT.

*goes to get Kortaga*

[imported_Hex]

Thread = up.

btw Nirv, I haven't worked on your mentor yet, so Imma do that now. Check back at my character sometime tomorrow and it should be there.

[Shark a' Pult]

What duz I post lulz?

[imported_Hex]

Anything you want. It's an introductory phase, after all.

[Shark a' Pult]

Well I would post going somewhere to do something, but I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing.

[imported_Hex]

Go to the ShinRa building and then we'll take it from there.

[Shark a' Pult]

Ok then, that sounds reasonable.

[imported_Hex]

Looks like everyone is gathering =)

@ Sprite:
Is the ladder you're character is looking at the one that leads to and from the slums?  Because if it is, then I suspect I'm supposed to meet you.

EDIT:
@ Nirvester Doing the Barrister
I made a female mentor for you, if that's OK.

[Sprite_Knight]

Yup. Just trying to put Abe in a position where he will get to interact with a lot of characters.

[tickyhead]

I'll post sometime maybe. Hel's probably going to get lost looking for the vending machine, if anyone wants to meet her meanwhile just let me know.

[Zella]

Wait when is it based again? Cause I'm assuming Gongaga's reactor is functioning and not blown up right? Screw it, I'll just post assuming it is functioning and edit if I'm wrong.

[imported_Hex]

@ Zella:

No, you're right.

[Zella]

Ok cool, that helps set up a mission I got planned.

[Miselius]

I'll post a little later. As for now I don't really know a good way to make an appearance.

[imported_Hex]

Since I think [most] people have posted by now, let's all make it to the inside of the building at least so TLC doesn't get lonely.

@ Zella

I left the little part about not being to make it to the meeting for you, fyi, since you're the only SOLDIER that's not in or around Midgar atm.

[Shark a' Pult]

Well I wasn't actually inside the building, but I can post getting inside now.

Tell me if I messed anything up. I assumed that the main ShinRa building was that big one with the energy vents around it in a circle, that I've seen pictures of.

[imported_Hex]

You're right.  Don't worry about it.

Also, as Nirv (Hex) relayed to me earlier via MSN, we should probably start thinking about groups.  I know several of you have already determined teams, but there may be changes depending on who uses what weapon, what skills your character possesses, etc.  I won't be splitting up any real predetermined teams (i.e., CJ and Kortaga), so no one has to worry about that either.  Just think about it.  Also, people may be added to these predetermined teams.

EDIT:

Forgot to add this: mercenaries will not be in teams.  You have a choice of what team to go with, but it's not permanent.

EDIT 2:

You can request teammate candidates, but I'm going to tell you right now that they will be changed if I don't think it matches up. Of course, I'll notify you first.

[Miselius]

OMG Hex on MSN.

[imported_Hex]

tomorrow :cmonster

[Kortaga (The Old Atrus)]

Thats pretty cool and yea thanks for keeping me and Cj togather...sort of nessesary and yea I'm sure we wouldn't mind partnering up with anyone. lol.

[imported_Hex]

Groups!

Team 1 with De Marr
Shawn Cerral
Dawn Cerral
Tomak Hindry

Team 2 with Gabriel Hellblue
Roy Christian
Prarie Zraith

Team 3 with Terraven Apriat
Raziel Sundophon
Mark Cooper
Aberash Colton
Helena Pierce

PM me if you have any problems with the groupings. Team 2 will meet Harrison Gale after the meeting. Claire Valentine can either join Team 1 or 2, as long as the groups stay the way they are currently.

Read the bottom of this post to figure out why I grouped certain people together. You have to argue against that in your PM before I reconsider. And it can't be because you don't like the RP'er.

Also, there was a lack of gun users, so deal with it.

Team 1
Well, grouping De Marr, Shawn, and Dawn with different people would have been very difficult because I'm trying to build the best teams :cmonster And seeing as how they work together terrifically, it was only natural. I added Zella to your group because Shawn, as we have seen already, is the target for many of De Marr's "wrongdoings" or "injustices" despite the fact that he doesn't know it. Zella's character, Tomak, is described to be laid back (not lazy, fyi) and able to keep his calm. With his relatively calm nature, he would be able to put up with Shawn and Dawn's inquisitive nature.

Team 2
I put Prarie with Gabriel because as chibi mentioned, Prarie is willing to achieve higher heights and become a righteous warrior, and Gabriel is on that exact same path. The two were made for each other, as I see it. Plus, Roy because he has to. This was the easiest group to make, btw :cmonster Harrison will be joined by these three because of the similarities between him and Roy. However, since he is a mercenary, this is not permanent.

Team 3
Terraven and Raz are partners, and I added Mark into the group for secret reasons. Unlike most of the secrets I have about this RP, Nirv (Hex) doesn't know about this one >=). Helena is in this group because her personality and Mark's personalities counteract as well as support each other. Both are rather impulsive to some extent, which is the main reason why they are paired up. Aberash is their because of the change in potential when he works with Helena. Also, this is the most diverse group in terms of weapons. WTF.

As you can see, I grouped everybody up based on personalities. Since some of you were grouped together, before you made the profiles it seems, I kept those groups together because the personality thing worked out really well. Applause.

[Nirv]

You hiding something from me or is it me hiding something from you, this is a very Fight Club esque scene

Loving the fact that Raz wasn't mentioned by Lazard, failure FTW

[Shark a' Pult]

I'll go with my BFFF Zella.

[imported_Hex]

OK then. Once people start going to the meeting, you can go too.

[Shark a' Pult]

So how's this going to start, I'm confused.

There'll be an announcement signifying the start? Or will people just start going to it?

And what, we just walk in and sit down?

That'd clear some things up.

[imported_Hex]

People will just start going there, at which point you can follow someone inside. And then yeah, pretty much a meeting of some sorts. I'll mainly have Lazard and Sephiroth do the talking and then everyone can post once or twice and the we leave. Something along those lines.

[Zella]

Fuck I should have started at Midgar, whatever. I assume my character will get like a text or something telling him?

[imported_Hex]

Yeah. Plus your team will meet you in Gongaga. Don't worry, I have it planned out.

[Zella]

K, then I'll finish up the mission I am on quickly.

[imported_Hex]

Or if you want, PM me what your mission is and we can extend it so everybody joins in.

[Miselius]

My PM:s doesn't work. =/

[Old Skewl CJ]

Hey, would the mentors know each other personally? I was just wondering if the three mentors should have some indication of who each other were.

[imported_Hex]

You bring up a good point. If you want De Marr to be acquainted with the other two, I'm fine with that. The other two already know each other.

[Nirv]

Nirv possssssssst

[imported_Hex]

I refuse to post until everybody is in the room.

EDIT:

Oh nvm :perv

[Nirv]

Well one of us needs to post so the other can go in, and I posted more recently so you can post, lucky you :cmonster

[Shark a' Pult]

Wait, so I missed the meeting?

What do I do now then?

[imported_Hex]

I thought you were in the lobby.

EDIT:

You weren't exactly "invited" to the meeting, so it makes sense. Everybody should be in the lobby area now, so you meet up with CJ or Kortaga.

[Shark a' Pult]

But I don't know my orders yet.

It was just to come to the place, but realistically, how would I just know that these two strangers are my partners.

As far as I'm concerned, a bunch of people just exited to the lobby, but how should I that three random ones are my future team mates.

Also, am I just supposed to trust these strangers? It makes sense if it's orders from the top, but just some random soldiers that I'm apparently paired up with?

I think what I'm trying to say is that it makes no sense just to walk up to CJ, Atrus, and Zella, and be all like "hi!".

---

Just some questions, you don't have to answer them.

[Miselius]

I thought you were in the lobby.

EDIT:

You weren't exactly "invited" to the meeting, so it makes sense.  Everybody should be in the lobby area now, so you meet up with CJ or Kortaga.
Mark is still on the rooftop.

[Nirv]

Got in a lot of shit today and am banned from the cpu, I'm on it in secret atm, so it could be a long time till I get back on, anyways till then I'll leave Raz and Hellblue in Hex's control seeing as we mentor each other's characters

[Old Skewl CJ]

Ah dude. That sucks. I've have the same thing happen to me back when I was moderating OPHQ. You could probably imagine how bad that was for me. XD

[imported_Hex]

ACK! Oh well, just don't do any more stupid things next time. lulz

So anyways, I'll try to keep it as organized as I can, seeing as how I now control six characters. Hopefully I won't have to use Sephy or Lazard soon anymore.

Also, TLC:
I hope I gave you some kind of initiative so you don't have trouble finding your group.

[Shark a' Pult]

Ok, that works.

I'll post soon enough.

[Zella]

'Technically, they could be on the other side of the planet for all she knew.', I'm not sure if you were joking cause I am basically on the other side of the planet.

Yes, that was a joke.

[Miselius]

Fail lulz at Hex (Nirv).

[Kuroshi_Ryu_Ver.1.1]

I am a little confused right now concerning the current location of Gabriel and the rest of the group Harrison's supposed to join....

[imported_Hex]

@ Kuroshi

Right now, our group is in the lobby of the Shinra building, minus Harrison of course. Don't worry, I already have a plan to get you, so you don't have to move as of yet.

[imported_Hex]

I have some gay ass term paper to write, so for the time being, several things will be happening, at least on my side:

The posts will be considerably shorter, with less content and such. Hopefully they will be enough to move things forward at a good pace.

Also, I'm working on compiling a new materia list in addition to the basic one I have for now. The new list will have materia that may or may not actually exist in the FF7 continuation, so if you have any suggestions, send a PM my way.

Sorry for the inactivity recently :cmonster

[Miselius]

Instead of making such a long post here post in the actual RP, I'm waiting for ya. :cmonster

[Miselius]

So who's turn it is now? I surely don't have enough to work with to make an actual post (I tried, but it was so bad and short I didn't even bother to post it).

[imported_Hex]

You could follow Hex (Nirv)'s character out and talk to them or talk to ticky and sprite :cmonster

But yeah, everything has been slowing down lately. Is something not right, is the pace too slow, etc.?

A simple answer would be nice =)

[Miselius]

The answer you are looking for is that everyone is waiting someone to post, I guess. That's what usually slows RP:s down.

[Kortaga (The Old Atrus)]

I'm personally waitin for CJ to post getting the message and us heading over to the Turks. So thats why I have not posted.

[Zella]

I'm just waiting for my team to get to Gongaga. I am way to lazy to make a mini story while waiting for them.

[imported_Hex]

Nirv/Hex, do you want your characters back?

[Shark a' Pult]

We're just going to some place called the edge or something. We're in the car right now.

I think we're supposed to meet someone when we get there.

[imported_Hex]

Yeah I have that handled. I'm just waiting for some other posts first.

[Shark a' Pult]

Lulz Claire is a bitch.

[Old Skewl CJ]

Wow, that post was simply amazing. I really just don't know what to say. Seriously, that was quite random of Claire. It'll be fun to see where this goes. XD

[Shark a' Pult]

Well yes, I think rule number one with Claire is, she's mean. And she's not afraid to be mean.

[Kortaga (The Old Atrus)]

Shawn is not going to be happy about this at all. He loves to see De Marr hurt in relatinship stuff but this sort of passed a few lines. I will need to make a pretty decient post for this next one...

[Nirv]

Have I missed much, and could someone tell me what's happened or should I read through the whole thread?

[Miselius]

Have I missed much, and could someone tell me what's happened or should I read through the whole thread?
You didn't miss much. Only that the people were assigned to teams. the teams gathered and some people just tried to get to know each other. I think that's pretty much all of it really.

[imported_Hex]

Kortaga :cmonster

[Miselius]

Kortaga :cmonster
Lol random?

[imported_Hex]

lulz

I think Kortaga has been scarred by TLC's post. I don't know how to continue without him.

[Kortaga (The Old Atrus)]

O my fault. I had assumed you litterally were waiting for others and then I was going to post after a few others and I was hoping my name was being called because of a deep connection made ina dream one night *sigh*, guess not.

Terribly sorry I will post right away.

Edited: Posted long and sweet.

[imported_Hex]

It seems that Hex is on vacation (I don't know really, but that's what a small bird told me), Sprite has forgotten, and tickyhead is studying again :cmonster

Oh well, a hiatus is a hiatus. Post when you can. Just as a quick recap:

Harrison, Prairie, Aberash, Helena, Mark, Gabriel, Raziel, Ven, and Roy should all be going to a bar.

De Marr, Shawn & Dawn, and Claire should all be going to Gongaga via helicopter to meet Tomak.

[Miselius]

I have nothing to post for, really. :cmonster

[Shark a' Pult]

Well I posed in the helicopter, so I'm just waiting for CJ and atrus. Then we can do whatever it was.

[imported_Hex]

Yeah, I haven't talked to Hex in a while, which doesn't really help when we collabed on this one.

[Miselius]

Btw I think Hex should be back soon, during this weekend, I think.

[Kortaga (The Old Atrus)]

for some reason i am waiting on a Cj post but maybe I should just post... sorry if I am holding this up again >.<

[imported_Hex]

No, not you :cmonster

[Zella]

If you want I could make a quick post telling Tomak to go to the Landing spot for the helicopter.

[tickyhead]

It seems that Hex is on vacation (I don't know really, but that's what a small bird told me), Sprite has forgotten, and tickyhead is studying again :cmonster

This part is definitely true. To be honest, I don't see myself RPing much at all in the near future, or possibly indefinitely.

I have too much crap on my plate as it is.

So don't expect me to come back, is all I'm saying.

[Nirv]

I shall post before the day is out

[Miselius]

I shall post before the day is out
You didn't.

[Nirv]

tt

[Miselius]

tt
Wut?

[Nirv]

according to my time I have 7 hours till my day is out :cmonster

Also nice double

[Miselius]

I see.

And I didn't double.

[Nirv]

Told you before the day was out

[Nirv]

Jesus, post people

[Miselius]

I'm waiting for Sprite.

[Sprite_Knight]

My partner is gone. Do you still want me to post?

[Miselius]

You are still in the same group as Hex and I.

[Kortaga (The Old Atrus)]

I posted >.>

[Miselius]

I'm gonna post tomorrow.

I'm trying to think of how to get something more than 2 lines out of what I have right now. :cmonster

[Shark a' Pult]

Well once CJ posts we can do something.

[Zella]

I'd post but I'm still waiting for the rest of my team to get to Gongaga.

[Nirv]

Nirv you need to post

[imported_Hex]

I have a research paper to write. So no :cmonster

Come Wednesday, I will post.

[Nirv]

I have a research paper to write.  So no :cmonster

You better, or I'll research you

[imported_Hex]

Is that some kind of seduction method?
























Because it's working.

[Nirv]

You're clearly trying to seduce me, why else would my name be actually in your sig image?











And that makes me randy

[Shark a' Pult]

I wasn't sure of the currency, so I just said $.

[imported_Hex]

'Tis fine. Future reference: the currency is called gil.

[Shark a' Pult]

Is 1000 gil allot?

[imported_Hex]

No, but 100,000 would.

[Shark a' Pult]

What about 10000?

[imported_Hex]

Go for it.

LULZ I need to post...

[Miselius]

Gil is around one Yeni I think. So around 100 Gil=1$

[Nirv]

Will post tomorrow if Aznirv hasn't

[imported_Hex]

OOC:

This RP will be on hiatus until [my] summer starts, which is about 3 weeks from now. From then on, a little restructuring will take place and then we will restart this RP (not from the beginning). gg Sprite lulz

Sorry I didn't mention it before.

[Zella]

OOC: That's fine with me, mine starts in about 3 weeks aswell. Though I am waiting for Sharky to respond to Tomak.

[Nirv]

aw hexers you guy you

[Sprite_Knight]

Hey Hex, just wondering but when is this starting up again?

[imported_Hex]

Tomorrowwww

Today, actually, since it's 12:17AM :cmonster

[Nirv]

omgo

[imported_Hex]

RESTART A GO-GO

A few things before we begin:

1) I will PM everyone who has a profile, and give you all 3 days max. to respond, unless you are on vacation, in which case you can respond afterwords.

2) If, because several people left, you need to change your profile, you are at liberty to change it however you like. Just tell me if you do, so I can approve it again. (Sprite, you already told me about yours)

3) I realized that one of the major problems was that the pacing was very, very slow. 107 +/- a few posts, and we haven't really done anything. My fault, sorry. When we start again, we will pretend all of that has already happened.

3.1) On that note, when I get everything organized again, the RP will start at the fights almost immediately, give or take a few posts. But generally speaking, we are going to start right away.

4) New characters welcome.

WHEN WE BEGIN:

1) Do you guys want new teams, or just remake the old teams?

2) Same format of battle (i.e., we split into groups to fight different enemies), or different (i.e., we all team up for one enemy)?

3) Some other thing I can't think of right now...

Anyways, feedback is welcome, too. Post about anything you'd like, as long as it pertains to the RP. What should change, what should stay the same, etc. Thanks.

[Miselius]

My charachter blows hard, so I really don't want to play as him, but I know I can't leave this because certain people will make me play so I'll just have to think for a new charachter. It might take a few days.

Also I think the group idea does need a little tweaking, because now it feels like there are several RP:s rolled into one, which just causes confusion.

[Kortaga (The Old Atrus)]

I'm still in with the same character though if CJ doesn't want to do this I will need to remake a bit. Otherwise I'm still good for it.

[Shark a' Pult]

I think having everyone split up into multiple teams is jarring. One big team I think would be more manageable.

But other than that I think everything is fine.

[Nirv]

True, it'd make it easier because in smaller teams more people can be held up by one person not posting but that doesn't happen as much in larger groups.

[tickyhead]

I went AWOL fairly early, but I've been thinking of coming back...while all the fighting is happening we can have interludes of Hel's frantic trip to catch up with everyone or something. :P

[Nirv]

We don't need people with commitment issues in this RP ticky, welcome back though.

Am I kidding or not who knoes?

[Sprite_Knight]

TICKYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! ;_; She's coming back?!

Cool.

I'm totally up for this RP again, but....starting Sunday I'll be gone for about two weeks : /. If someone could compile a summary of what happened during those two weeks for me upon my return? Please?

[imported_Hex]

kk

So the plan is (once everyone else responds) to start up approx. where we left off, instead this time we are all going to fight in the same place. Maybe there are three enemies in the same place, and we semi-split up then? Who knows?

And since ticky is tentatively returning, we can have Sprite and Hel trying to catch up with everyone else as well, with ticky controlling both? Ionno. Too tired to think right now :cmonster

[Zella]

I'm good, and Shark better respond to Tomak's offer.

[imported_Hex]

I think we are just waiting on CJ and Kuroshi now, since I'm assuming chibi luffy is gone forever T_T

[Kuroshi_Ryu_Ver.1.1]

Sorry for replying just now, RL is hectic right now...

I think the big group would be better as well, I thought the multiple teams were REALLY confusing. I didn't know who was who at times...

And yes, I'll be rejoining as well.^^

[imported_Hex]

YAR I'll wait until tomorrow, to see if CJ wants in.

BUT, basic flow starting tomorrow will be:

1) Everyone will travel to where Tomak's group is, instead of separating into three groups. Sorry, it's the only way I could make some continuity. Bear with the groups for just a bit longer.

2) Some debriefing (probably done in one post from me)

3) OMG MONSTER APPEARZ.

4) Fight, discover everyone's abilities and such. (Does anyone think we need more than one enemy?)

5) From then, the format MIGHT be as follows:

Every new mission, I will post a bulletin board-like post in THIS THREAD. You can sign up if you want, given you meet the deadline. This way, if you know you won't be around for a bit, we can avoid any characters leaving midway through a mission.

Yea or Nay.

[Zella]

sounds good, but I think nwe may want to have two monsters cause we have alot of people and it is likely post will mess with others post when we all focus on one guy.

[imported_Hex]

Hey guys, if you want to make any edits to your character, do so by tomorrow so I can look it over. Yes, I am going to wait one more day, so we don't have to bother with Sprite at all >:3

[Old Skewl CJ]

Sounds like epic win. Can't wait.

[Miselius]

Hey guys, if you want to make any edits to your character, do so by tomorrow so I can look it over.  Yes, I am going to wait one more day, so we don't have to bother with Sprite at all >:3
What if I'm going to make a whole new character?

[imported_Hex]

Hurry up.

[Miselius]

Hurry up.
Hurrying creates bad characters.

But I know one character trait already. He/she/whatever comes late usually. :cmonster

[imported_Hex]

You can modify to your will, since I didn't really give you a chance to post anything anyhow. Just tell me if you decide to do so.

Also, quick poll:

Fight now, or fight later?

[chibi luffy]

Ah, really sorry about the long disappearance. Got bogged down with school stuff and eventually forgot about it. If its okay, can i still play in the rp? If youve gone too far ahead, i understand if i cant.

[imported_Hex]

lol we were on hiatus for quite a while. Welcome back.

[imported_Hex]

btw, my previous post was asking a question to anyone who was with Tomak before the second group arrived.

Don't worry about being too specific if you're going to post about the monster. Most likely, I will dash all your hopes and dreams and come up with something completely different anyhow.

[Nirv]

I really need to post in this

[imported_Hex]

yeh yesterday >:[

[Nirv]

yesterday never comes

[imported_Hex]

Mise, where is this character I've been hearing so much aboot?

[Miselius]

Mise, where is this character I've been hearing so much aboot?
You lying, you've heard nothing about it. For obvious reasons. Which is that there is nothing to hear about it.

[chibi luffy]

Uh... i got impatient and left for a while, come back and there is like one extra post. Where is everyone?

[Shark a' Pult]

I'm waiting for my group leader to head us over to the fight.

[imported_Hex]

yeh it's supposed to be Nirv, but I have no idea where he went =/

[imported_Hex]

GUH this is dead

I'm tempted to just holy godmod to pass this entire arc.
